In The Pursuit Of Happiness

'When we are depressed we become blind to the beauty in the small things around us.'

Everybody feels pain. ...

Every man experiences negativity’s in life, sheltering sadness and despair and harboring various kinds of unwanted feelings. We cannot be totally protected against these elements,life is totally unpredictable, casting blows in the darkness of the niqht, even on the most vigilant.

To live a happy life, we have to practiceforgiveness , attire
our spirit with a happy nature, treat others the way we would like to
be treated, and look upon life as a test upon our inner strength.

Torespect others feelings, to love without demands, to view joy in darkened clouds, and to value and cherish all life-forms.

When one pursues happiness, he paints and promotes personal hope and health. That is being positive, living positive life.

Thank you so much Lita. I guess that is why so many people split up, when it doesn't have that initial adrenlin rush like it did at the start, they mistakingly think it is time to move on. :)

"...to love without demands". Unconditional love is the essence of true love. I love that. Makes me wonder if I will still say I love because I want to be loved back. It's difficult to attain but it could be attained, if we persevere. Beautiful, vote up!

You know Tom the picture was taken last year and I wrote this piece when I turned 21. By the age of 21 it felt I had lived 50 years so much happened that normally does not happen to anyone in a lifetime. You have really made me feel bonza on this Aussie early morning. Wow you are amazing thanks.

Thanks a million rasenstars I am thrilled you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to read it. :)

As I commented in a response to one of your Hubs earlier Blondepoet, you have the gift of heart-to-heart communication. I love such phrases as "attire our spirit with a happy nature." It would be fair to say that your Hubs set a 'bench mark' that so many of us can aspire to.

If that's a photo of you with that nurse's cap on, I'm betting it wasn't taken the day before yesterday. Yours is the wisdom of a long time spent...

You know the American motto

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...

The opposite of which ends with

Strife, apathy, and the resolute of indifference...

Why do people choose not to love their gift of life?

Stranger than strangers

People are strange

When we are depressed, we become blind to the beauty in the small things around us, and our purpose in life becomes clouded.

This is often my problem, Inability to be content with the small things from inability to find ultimate purpose.

Well I too follow the same. Threat others the way you expect to be treated. Good simple Hub.

But there one thing I would like to tell you (take it as an advice if you want to). This is a good Hub idea but it would have been great if the contents here were more and please also look at the formating. The contents are not properly fromatted and aligned. These things does create an impression on your readers.

Hey Goldentoad, (++Blonde looks at him a little closer) well you are looking smashing today, you look..errr...so much younger. Wow!!! I like. I don't know why our comments are going upside down, I guess this page has a certain kind of magic. Anger that is a fair point GT, but it is hard for me to comment on that as I rarely am angry, when I am not laughing,eating, pumping iron, laughing,working,stalking,laughing I am sleeping, so very rarely do I feel this emotion. Hehe.

goldentoad 8 years agofrom Free and running....

BP- Dig the hub, but I say anger is a healthy form of expression and its okay as long as it releases you from the cage, and clear your mind, but there is a fine line between destruction and purging of that anger

Again, very nice. I like this statement because it is so true: We cannot be totally protected against these elements,life is totally unpredictable, casting blows in the darkness of the niqht,even on the most vigilant. And, this one says it all:

To respect others feelings, to love without demands, to view joy in darkened clouds, and to value and cherish all life-forms.
